Thanks Amr for your reply.

We can try having it ready by ICANN53. If we can't make it, we could
perhaps at least explain that we are working on it.

BTW, I'll be participating in an ICANN-supported UNESCO meeting in Paris
next month to discuss IG Arabic Glossary, which will be timely in handling
the tricky jargon words, which have always been a pain when doing Arabic
translation work.

Sincerely,

Walid
